Still unable to understand why, Betsy Segura was accused of smuggling her nine-year-old daughter into the United States. So was Irianna Gilimas, the mother of a nine-year-old son. One day, each one of them closed the door to their house in Cuba, didn’t look back, and took the long and well-trodden path of the migrant. They say they wanted to reach the United States, get a job, send their children to school, and help their families back home. Nothing that others haven’t done before them.

Querían, dicen, llegar a Estados Unidos, trabajar, mandar a los pequeños a la escuela y ayudar a la familia. Nada que no hayan hecho otros, antes y después que ellas.
